Lil Yachty Unveils Friends-and-Family Exclusive Nike Air Force 1s

Don't expect this sneaker to release.

After much speculation and rumors, Lil Yachty has officially unveiled his Nike Air Force 1 collab.

Just moments ago, the rapper shared images of his Air Force 1 Low project on Instagram via the platform's close friends feature. Yachty' kept things fairly simple by applying a white-based leather upper that's offset by navy accents on the sock liner and outsole. The sneaker also features Yachty's Concrete Boys logo embroidered on the footbed and special "It's Us" branding on the tongue.

Speculation about Lil Yachty potentially having his own Air Force 1 first hit the net last month when the rapper himself said he created his own iteration of the classic silhouette while shopping for sneakers. The rapper later backtracked on the statement, denying the project.

This Nike Air Force 1 collab is exclusive to friends and family members of Yachty and will not be released to the public. Grab a closer look at the shoe below.

Lil Yachty took to his Instagram “Close Friends” list Wednesday to reveal his forthcoming Nike Air Force 1 collaboration. Naturally, the images didn’t remain within his green list for long.

The musician’s Air Force 1 Low is predominately white save for the outsole, sock liner, and branding appearing in navy. A logo for Concrete Boys, the name of Lil Yachty ‘s music label imprint and a song from “2020,” is embroidered onto the lateral heel while the Nike logo has been altered to read “It’s Us” beneath the Swoosh on the tongue tag and insole.

These alterations are only slight but are similar to Fat Joe’s Air Force 1 Low “Terror Squad” releases from earlier this year.

Lil Yachty first revealed the existence of his own AF1 in a video from the sneaker resale shop Cool Kicks’ YouTube channel. There have been conflicting reports on if the sneaker will actually release to the public, with Complex saying it’ll be a friends and family exclusive and the reliable leak account @Ovrnunder saying it’ll drop in 2024.

The truth could be somewhere in the middle, with this version being F&F only and another variant designated for a wider release. More information should arrive in the coming months, but it wouldn’t be a surprise for Nike to release a Yachty collaboration based on how big of a year he’s had in 2023. He also played a major role in the rollout for Cactus Plant Flea Market’s recently released Nike Air Flea 2.

Lil Yachty Channels Nigo, Reveals Friends & Family Air Force 1 For Coachella

Made just for the Concrete Boys.

This post contains references to products from one or more of our advertisers. We may receive compensation when you click on links to those products. The opinions and information provided on this site are original editorial content of Sneaker News.

Not long after his performance out in the Californian desert for Coachella, Lil Yachty dropped a first look at a Friends & Family iteration of his upcoming Air Force 1 collaboration with Nike. Going heavy on the patent leathers, the design could be viewed as an homage to A Bathing Ape founder Nigo as he emulates the Japanese icon in an infamous photo with a super-rare Bape Sta.

This particular iteration of the Lil Yachty Air Force 1 for the Concrete Boys is a time portal back to the mid-2000s when the Bape Sta was amidst its heyday. Loud pops of color and glossy exteriors match the rapper’s exuberant style and personality, more so than the retail versions that opt for a simple white leather and navy accents.

Lil Yachty also shared a look at several different colorways of his Air Force 1, including a white/yellow, black/purple, and black/red. This newest batch sticks with the standard leather exterior with sport mesh interior, complete with the embroidered Concrete Boys logo on the heel and the “IT’S US” on the tongue.

As it stands, a release date of the Nike Air Force 1 by Lil Yachty remains unknown, although a late Summer 2024 release seems likely given the uptick in activity.

Japan’s No.1 Sneaker Marketplace

Lil Yachty Shares a New Colorway of His Nike Air Force 1 Low “Concrete Boys” at Coachella

A collaboration between one of rap's biggest sneakerheads, and the world's biggest sneaker company.

[Update 17 Apr 2024] During his Coachella set the last weekend, Lil Yachty debuted a new colorway of his Nike Air Force 1 Low PE. This time, the pair’s patent leather make is embellished with the reggae colors of red, gold, and green. There are no release details that’ve been announced so they’ll likely be a 1 of 1 for Lil Boat himself.

Alongside the aforementioned colorway, at least three more have been leaked. The pairs, featuring the “Concrete Boys” imprint on the heels, are presented in white with yellow accents, black with red, as well as a “Triple Black” makeup. Check them out in the gallery above!

[Update 1 Feb 2024] First teased in November, Lil Yachty has since shared more looks of his Nike Air Force 1 Low “Concrete Boys” when he appeared on SNKRS live recently. As of now, it’s an F&F exclusively for his coterie. Nevertheless, stay tuned!

He did say, “As of right now, this’s only a Concrete exclusive.” The first part, “As of right now”, being the operative phrase.

[Update 16 Nov 2023] First looks of the Lil Yachty x Nike Air Force 1 have now emerged. Also known as the “Concrete Boys”, the pair features a white leather upper and Air midsole unit, complemented by Navy accents on the sockliner, rubber outsole, “It’s Us” tongue tags and Concrete Boys logo on the sides.

At this time, the pair is said to be a Friends and Family exclusive. But rest assured should it see a general release, we will keep you informed so stay tuned here for further updates.

Lil Yachty recently made an appearance on CoolKicks, where he hinted at a collaboration with Nike. About nine minutes into the interview, he casually held up a Nike Air Force 1 Lows and subtly mused, “I just did a Force.” This Freudian slip left fans speculating that a Lil Yachty x Nike Air Force 1 is actually in the works.

When directly probed about it, AKA Lil Boat was evasive and non-committal in his reply, “I didn’t say that, I didn’t say that!”

There isn’t a Rosetta stone regarding the pair but expect the collaborative Air Forces to be reflective of the rapper’s off-beat personality and taste.

He was recently spotted in the upcoming Cactus Plant Flea Market x Nike Air Flea 2 “Faded Spruce” and the pair’s unconventional design was perfectly in-brand. Thus, the upcoming Yachty and Swoosh collaboration might produce a shoe equally enigmatic.

For now, we’ll just have to stay tuned! In the meantime, check out the CLOT x NEIGHBORHOOD x adidas Superstar .
